decent stay overall

great locationhelpful staffawful wifiinsufficient machines
the location was indeed great. many restaurants and shops were nearby. i also found the staff friendly and helpful (i did especially like the sake tokens in the evening).
the wifi was quite awful. it kept dropping (i had to rely on my own data plan quite a bit). also, there were only four washing machines, and it felt insufficient for the entire hotel.

i liked the location since it was convenient, providing easy access to many shops and restaurants. i used the takkyubin service to send my luggage to my next location. the hotel provided a humidifier in the room (which was really useful).
this made getting to and from my room a bit inconvenient, especially during busy hours.

my standard double room had a good layout with a comfortable bed. the bathroom was clean and well kept with separate areas for the shower and toilet. i found the room size adequate for one person.

the hotel offered complimentary coffee and hot chocolate daily. i appreciated this, especially in the mornings (a simple perk but very welcome). the sake tasting event was a nice touch too.

Fantastic Hotel in Central Area

varied selectioncomfortable spacesuper machinedelicious latte
The hotel breakfast was amazing with a great selection. It included both Japanese and European options in the buffet. The hotel gave free sake every night in the lobby. The lobby provided a comfortable space to relax after a busy day. The hotel offers complimentary coffee from a super coffee machine in the lobby. Matcha lattes from it tasted very delicious.
I waited for some time.

I enjoyed the hotel's location greatly. It is close to many shops and dining options. The room was spacious. I especially liked the complimentary coffee and sake available. I was very grateful for that.
The staff seemed a little aloof. It was disappointing. I also found the street noise quite loud. It made it difficult to sleep, applied-.

amazing stay on the main strip!

great locationhelpful stafffree sakeskimpy cleaning
This hotel is super convenient and near everything i wanted to see! the staff was really helpful. They assisted with getting a taxi and dinner reservations. the free sake each evening was such a nice touch (i loved getting a coin from the front desk!). i would come back here.
the hotel cleaning isn't automatic. you have to pick which type you want, and the cleaning felt a bit skimpy. i think it would be better if they cleaned the rooms more thoroughly without needing a specific request.
